My work, Graton Resort and Casino for the fourth year in a row had their annual Six Flags Discovery Kingdom deal, and it was a bargain.
Wild life at Six Flags
Yesterday was my first time taking advantage of my employers Six Flags package deal. For $29.00 which comes out of our pay checks in two installments, employees got their daily pass to the theme park, and for two hours, the casino had a picnic area reserved for us workers complete with free food and beverages.

All the rides are inclusive, the main reason I liked it. I signed up too late to get a free bus ride, but that was OK, people who drove, also received a free parking permit and the park is only an hour away from where I live.
I haven't been on a roller coaster since the 90s, so I was curious to see if my stomach could still handle them, and it did with aplomb!
The Joker was the first roller coaster I tried yesterday and it was awesome, if your into fast cork screw laden rides, I highly recommend the Joker. I had a blast yesterday, I even paid an additional $60.00 for the Flash Pass. Before I purchased the Flash Pass, I waited more then an hour in line to ride The Joker, the next three times I rode The Joker with the Flash Pass, the wait was less then ten minutes.
Superman Ultimate Flight, was another great adrenaline ride, too bad, the Flash Pass was only good for a one time use on the Superman roller coaster, I could have paid $90.00 for the platinum Flash Pass, but the gold was fine.
Wonder Woman Lasso of Truth, was the only other ride that was only allowed a one time use for the non-platinum Flash Pass. The Wonder Woman ride is not a roller coaster, but it was a rush! I waited about five minutes because of my Flash Pass, it would have been way too long of a wait without the Flash Pass.
The Wonder Woman ride only exists at Six Flags in Vallejo, and this exclusive ride is a 70 mile an hour wake fest. The slight spinning of the ride twanged my stomach a tad, but it was worth it. Kong and Medusa were also great rides that I rode many times. My tip of the day, if your into roller coasters, Six Flags in Vallejo is a great place to go, and the Flash Pass is worth the money.
I didn't check out the dolphin show or the many other shows available at the park, but I do believe you can swim with the dolphins and there is an entire huge area at the park for children, and many rides geared for the very young. I will do this every year from now on.
